THE DELAY in the execution of the sen

DUNG effect upon their associates in crime,
has, but only as was expected by people ia

to more determined, but more secret,

THE WASHINGTON Republican, in one OF
its numerous articles on the settlement OF
the Virginia debt, says: There ought to be
no delay in securing this adjustment.
Every interest of Virginia demands it. Cap
ital in millions would be invested in the
State if this vezatious and ever-recurring
debt question was taken out of the hands OF
politicians who use it as foot bali to en-
able them to reach the goal of their .ambi'
tion." And yet the Republican knows that
the man whose return to power IN Virginia
it advocates, was The first politician VINO
ever used the State debt as foot ball to
enable him to reach the goal OF his ambi-
ton, and that the members of its party in
the Virginia Legislature lent their unani-
NOUS support to all the efforts that were
made 10 that body to prevent settlement
OF the debt

TIE FACT that two attempts have been
made to burn st. Stephen church, Catholic,
in New York, since Rev. Dr. McGlynn, the
priest in charge thereof, WAS removed, is
not at all surprising in view of the other
fact that the Doctor says the ownership OF
land is robbery, and that the assassination
of rulers is justifable, and when he ridi'
cules the Pope and sets his orders at open
and contemptuous defiance.

MONDAY EVENING. MAY %.

In THE debate in the Senate OF virginia
ON the resolution recommending MIR. ). H.
Tucker for the seat in the United States
Supreme Court made vacant by the death
of thu late Associate Justice Woods, Sena-
tor Heaton, of Loudoun, is reported as say
Ing that: "Ifis were adopted and sent to the
President it would be the fisst time he had
ever heard from the real democracy OF Vir'
ginia; that the Presidents appointments 10
this State had not been satisfactory, as tney
did not do justice to the democracy anu
that the adoption of the resolution Wouid
be the FIST news the President had as 10
what his party in Virginia wanted" There
is more truth than poetry in these WORDS,
and while they were not calculated to pro-
duce the desired effect upon man SO obstl-
nate as the Presidents said to be, there Is 20
doubt of the fact that, so far at least as
thew apply to several of the Virginia ap-
pointees, they are endorsed not only by
many of Major Heaton's immediate demo-
cratic constituents, but by large number
of democrats throughout the State.
